A Kuwaiti citizen has been arrested for allegedly beating
his Ethiopian housekeeper to death, a Kuwaiti newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Citing legal sources, Al-Jarida daily said the man, who was
not named, confessed that he "brutally beat up" the maid for seven
days because she refused to work.
A preliminary forensic report showed that the maid died of
"severe beatings that led to serious physical injuries and severe internal
bleeding," and that she showed signs of dehydration.
The daily said the suspect took the maid to a recruitment
office in Hawalli, 15 kilometres (nine miles) south of Kuwait City, where she
collapsed and died.
Oil-rich Kuwait with a population of 3.5 million people,
two-thirds of them foreigners, employ around 600,000 mostly Asian domestic
helpers.
